麻豆传媒映画

Random facts and stats about Vancouver鈥檚 housing market.

That鈥檚 what I鈥檓 bringing you today in this space after spending an inordinate amount of time going through the city鈥檚 Housing 麻豆传媒映画progress report and data book.

Many of us media types have done some about the mountain of information released April 2, and the fact the city approved 15,406 housing units over the past two years.

But there鈥檚 so much more to tell.

To set this up, just a reminder the city鈥檚 goal is to approve the construction of 72,000 new homes by 2027. The city says nearly 50 per cent will serve households earning less than $80,000 per year.

Two-thirds will be available for renters, with 40 per cent built with two or three bedrooms; "family-sized鈥� is how the city describes those homes.

My purpose here is not to repeat what I already reported about where the city has made progress (condos, social and supportive housing, laneway homes) and not made progress (purpose-built rental housing, townhouses).

These are simply some random facts and stats cobbled together from the city鈥檚 housing report鈥攚hich came via census, surveys, real estate sales and other sources鈥攖hat you might find interesting, including which 麻豆传媒映画homeowners no longer pay a mortgage (or maybe never did).
